@nazgul Hahaha. First machine I learned to program in 1968 had 8k of 16-bit words (core).
12 years later, my partner and I produced some large specification documents on an 8-bit machine (wire-wrapped 6802 on an S-100 bus) with 8k of RAM using a text editor and an nroff knockoff I wrote in machine language. Worked fine.
Funny thing is, those days were a lot more fun than today.
